The event will be attended by the top medical device companies including Johnson & Johnson, Medtronic, Philips, Stryker, Siemens and many more. Vuzix and Blitzz will discuss and demonstrate their joint solution which drives significant ROI and creates new revenue streams for field service organizations by providing hands-free remote expertise, just in time instructions, and the ability to capture standard work to quickly distribute tribal knowledge to less experienced workers with the help of the M300 Smart Glasses. Several Field Service organizations have already experienced 40% revenue growth, 20:1 ROI ratios and 25% T&L spend reductions by leveraging Vuzix M300 smart glasses.
“We are actively shifting our business model to include hands-free smart glasses due to the large customer demand. The Vuzix M300 platform will allow our customers to collaborate and exchange documents with their remote workforce in a more efficient manner, thus driving new savings and increasing revenues,” said Rama Sreenivasan, CEO and Co-Founder of Blitzz.
“Blitzz, one of our newest VIP partners, brings a smart mobile platform that allows users to quickly deploy a high-quality video powered remote assistance and collaboration app, without any technical development. We look forward to showcasing this versatile and powerful collaboration application on the Vuzix M300 Smart Glasses to executives from some of the largest medical device service and support companies in the world,” said Paul Boris, COO of Vuzix.
